Dan and Dan

A Day with Dan

I started this song and I thought it sounded right for Dan Blackard.  I added a little pedal steel to give it a little more country flavor.  It is a great pleasure to get to write this music with Dan Blackard.

Lyrics:  Unless I'm Guessing Wrong

Unless I'm guessing wrong
She walking out the door
She's getting in her car
She doesn't want to see me no more

And I could get up
In hope of changing her mind
Ask her to to please turn around
And not to leave me behind

Unless I'm guessing wrong
She wouldn't look my way
She'll turn and slowly back out
To let me know she has nothing to say

And all I'd do is watch her go
And I would try to stay strong
And I would pray that she'd come back
Unless I'm guessing wrong


Unless I'm guessing wrong
My nights will feel so cold
The days are gonna be so long
All alone with no one to hold

I tried make a happy life
Working hard to make everything good
I asked for her to be my wife
And she told me that she never could

Unless I'm guessing wrong
She has found
someone better than me
Someone else that she wants more
Someone else with whom she'd rather be

Unless I'm guessing wrong
This is when the world spins away
And all the stars start going dark
And all the colors all turn to gray

Unless I'm guessing wrong

Unless I'm Guessing Wrong (Featuring Dan Blackard)

Lyrics:

She doesn't want to see me no more

And I could get up
In hope of changing her mind

She'll turn and slowly back out
To let me know she has nothing to say

And all I'd do is watch her go
And I would try to stay strong
And I would pray that she'd come back

Thanks again for another cool 



Unless I'm Guessing Wrong

A song about people and life.  This is about all of those people you pass in a city cross walk.  You pass a bunch of people each has their own story.  You catch a glimpse of each of those stories as you walk by them.  A brief second for each person's story.

Lyrics:  Seven Second to Go Lyrics

Seven seconds to go
Some starting to run
Like there's not enough time
before it counts down to one

People in cars
burn fuel to the sky
behind the white lines
Watching people walk by

The seconds go by
But Some never care
They're not in a hurry
To get anywhere

Con men out scouting
Kids cutting school
Pick pocket criminals
A dance of the fools

As Cops on the the corner
Walking the beat
Watch for the bad guys
Out on the street

Seven seconds to go
Flashing in red
Before it will change
And the cars move ahead

To the next traffic light
And again starts the flow
So many stories
seven seconds to go..

Seven seconds to go....


Seven Seconds To Go

We have all experienced the pain of loss.  None of us get a pass on this card.  We loose those we love through various means.   Some walk out the door, other's are carried out the door, and other's just fade from existence.

This song is about that pain of loss.  I encourage you to think about those you have loved and lost.  Remember the good times.

Lyrics;

Got my car up on the blocks
It hasn't run in years
But I wash it every week
And rinse it clean with all my tears

You never said goodbye
And left a hole right through my soul
I never saw it coming
The day I watched you go

Got a pile of old newspapers
Outside on the lawn
Each one filled with news
Of every single day that you've been gone

You never said goodbye
Now there's a big hole in my soul
I can't believe you were leaving
The day I watched you go

And now I sit and wonder
Why you just walked away
I never saw a sign
That you wouldn't want to stay


You never said goodbye
And left a hole right through my soul
I never saw it coming
The day I watched you go

You always seemed so happy
Everything seemed fine
Then you walked right out the door
And left our world behind



The Day I Watched Her Go

The time changes drastically from the beginning to the end.  If you listen to the end you may be challenged to recognize it as the same song.

It has been a while since our last song.  We have had a bit of writers block.  At one point this seemed to fall apart.   We ended ended up picking lyrics from three different attempts and putting them together in this song.  Once I finally  we got the time to work then we had a lot of fun.

We hope you can enjoy this anytime.

At Anytime Lyrics

The clouds they hang so heavy
An angry sky draws near
The wicked wind is screaming
The storm will strike at anytime

Looking through the window
Specters long deprived
Spirits need to find a home
Where the shadows are alive

The walls around you tremble
The earth before you quakes
Darkness all around you
hunger for your soul to take

There is no way of knowing
when evil comes to call
Will you rise to meet the challenge
Will you even rise at all

Bad things bound to happen
Bad things find a way
Bad things are gonna come for you
At anytime  night or day
At Anytime......

EVIL
At Anytime.....



At Anytime

This song in 5/4 time was originally titled the "oddity" track.  As Dan Blackard added lyrics it became “A Little Voice"  It's that voice that can sometimes have you doin something that you would never normally do.   Like a little demon

Here are the lyrics:
.Little Voice

You were sitting all alone and felt chill run up your spine
No need to be concerned Just put it out of your mind.
 (It's me..)
You don't know why you said the crazy thing  you just said
Tried saying something friendly
But somehow you put them down instead

Hey it's No big deal it's just something that you  feel
I'm here to tell you
It's is something very real
Can you hear that voice?
Haha
It's me..
Some tasty little gossip and you know it isn't true
That you're sharing with somebody
you swear it didn't come from you

It came from me!
A guilty little feeling
Way down deep within
Don't worry it'll pass
Hey,  it was just a little sin

I'm Just a little voice playing with your little mind
It pleases me so much when I can be unkind
Just a little voice trying to have a little fun
It's how I get my kicks when I get a little evil done
I'm just a little voice Just like a little friend
I love to break the rules
At Least I'm  gonna make them bend

When you were sitting all alone and you feel that little chill
It's just a little voice
With a little time to kill...

A Little Voice

Now it is time to take a trip back in time.   WAAAYYYY back in time.  To a time when Herman's Hermits and The Dave Clark 5 ruled the charts.  When American president's fooled around with starlets and there was no talk of sex tapes.  Close you eyes and relax and remember a simpler time.  For most of you a time before you were alive.

Here are the lyrics to:  As lucky as me

It was the night of the bonfire 
Held for the football team
And the moment that I saw her 
Was right out of my dreams

no way she'd  see me
I was not in her league 
she said hello
I was surprised as could be 

We somehow got to talking
And I fell into her eyes
stumbling over words. 
Man I was so mesmerized 

I heard myself ask 
If she would  go out with me 
She said yes!  There's the proof!
No one was ever as lucky as me

She could have gone a different way
And lived an easy life 
but here's the part about the day 
that she became my wife. 

walked on down the aisle
And I must  confess
I couldn't take my eyes off of her
In that wedding dress

It was my best day

We've shared some good and bad times and though she won't agree
 I'm certain that no one has ever
been as lucky as me

Time rolled on by
Just a blur it seems
But I never want to wake up
If this is all just a dream

I hit the jackpot 
I'm a winner in love's lottery
There's no way in the world that anyone is as lucky as me!

As lucky as me

Feel free to ask Dan Blackard (or his wife) if this is autobiographical.
